Look at the Camels
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ ١٧
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Do they not look at the camels, how they are created?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this reminds those who deny the resurrection of the wonders seen even in the most familiar parts of creation. Camels were among such wonders the Arabs saw every day.
Reflect
Today, look with fresh eyes at an animal you see daily.
